Why pay hundreds of dollars to get started designing stunning 3D images and animations when you can get started today for free with DAZ Studio?

When we say “3D”, we don’t mean special glasses or pictures that you have to look at cross-eyed to see the “hidden message”. What we “do” mean is the ability to take people, buildings and models and move them around in a virtual environment as easily as if you were holding them in your hands.

The DAZ Studio software lets you choose from thousands of 3D people, creatures, buildings and props to place into your scene or “photo shoot”. Then dress them, pose them, and give them expressions. Once the stage is set, adjust lighting and camera angles and start snapping your incredible and professional looking images. Best of all! Ownership of these images belongs to you. Use them as book covers, posters, or banners. Whatever you want. They’re all yours to do with and sell as you like. You can now be the artist producing jaw-dropping scenes.

Ready for the next level? DAZ Studio lets you bring your scenes to life. Use aniblocks, and add on plugins like Animate2 to leverage pre-built action sequences and movements, or design your own animations from scratch. Simply move and pose your figures in the scene, record those actions, and play them back. With this free software you’ll not only be creating amazing visuals, but building full computer generated movies.

DAZ also provides free video tutorials to guide you through things like laying out a scene, camera angles and placement, lighting tricks and more. Learn all of the factors that make a good photo or movie great. We’ll walk you through them all as you direct your own creations and bring them to life in DAZ Studio.

DAZ Studio 4.6 includes the full-featured DAZ Studio 3D application and numerous add-ons such as the Content Creator Toolkit for creating your own 3D content, 3D Bridge for Adobe® Photoshop®, The Texture Atlas, the GoZ Bridge For DAZ Studio 4 to ZBrush®, the Autodesk® FBX Exporter, and more.

I use Free 3D Software Daz Studio for designing my 3D Pin Up Girl pictures and Virtual Babe animations. While importing my Daz Studio scenes into Blender is a snap, it also makes for an excellent workflow for realism, especially when using Blender Cycles.

While Blender is Open Source, this software recently introduced a new render engine called Blender Cycles. You will find it next to Blender internal. It is a ray-tracing based render engine, including supports for interactive rendering, a new shading node system, new texture workflow and GPU acceleration: Blender Cycles uses the power of the graphic card for GPU rendering (CUDA,OpenCL in development).

Bring the power and realism from Blender Cycles engine to your 3D Pin Up Girls, sexy Babes and alike created using DAZ Studio. It’s all now possible thanks to the mCasual’s scripts kit. You too can crank out thousands of 3D Girls, creatures, props, buildings etc. into realistic photo shoot scenes while using Blender Cycles render engine after exporting from Daz Studio. The scripts mentioned earlier come from 2 separate packages, mcjTeleblender for DAZ Studio and mcjBlenderBot for Blender.

mcjTeleBlender.zip

This package contains the Daz Studio script mcjTeleBlender.

mcjBlenderBot.zip

This package contains Python Scripts for Blender: mcjBlendBot.py, mcjAddSky.py, mcjFixBlenderMats.py, mcjMakeCyclesNodes.py, mcjGammaFix.py, mcjUseMatLib.py.

Now I prefer to adjust the lighting and camera angles directly into Blender, then bring up the stunning visuals using the Blender Cycles render engine, as it treats light in a more natural way. Simply put, this makes up the most powerful yet FREE workflow that uses CG Design and image manipulation potential, I have ever seen.
